"He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia and 'round the Antares Maelstrom and 'round Perdition's flames before I give him up!"

Damn fine actor. I still remember watching an episode of Fantasy Island when I was like 8 and Rourke was possed by the devil or something and he was in the shadows and he was able to look totally evil. Scared the shit out of me.

little known GFY factoid:

juicy is the son of tatoo...

His Khan performance has stuck with me since I was a kid, awesome charachter and actor.

RIP

I just went to confirm this on Google news and saw that Patrick McGoohan (The Prisoner.. "I am not a number I am a free man!") is dead too :(

bummer.. RIP to them both

damn.. did they have to repeat it so much :)

R.I.P.

Not a lot of characters like that anymore.

Rip khan

ADG

that'd make a cool animated gif ;)

That makes two for the scifi/cult tv crowd in one day. Hopefully not a third on the way.

how old was he?

he was a great classic actor

He was a great actor. rip Ricardo

Khan was 88. R.I.P. Ricardo Montalban

I heard he is going to buried in a coffin lined with soft Corinthian leather. lol

His Khan performance in the movie Wrath of Kahn came pretty late in his career, but when people first saw that movie they couldn't believe the shape the guy was in. Fact is he was quite the pumped up ultra fit dude in his time, and his body of work over his lifetime is actually pretty incredible.

Not sure if Family Guy being his last work entry is much of a closing accent on it, but 167 entries dating back to 1942 is quite amazing by any actor's standards. Basically the guy was a machine. Theatre, big budget movies, musicals, tv series, comedy, drama, action... the guy did it all.

RIP Mr Roarke.

Boss, de plain! De PLAIN!!

yeah i remember the whole implants and make up rumor going around when that came out. His best line of all time was, "No we will wait because revenge is a dish best served cold'

Which was ridiculous. Anyone who saw his original Khan performance in "Space Seed" (1967 Star Trek the original series) knows the guy was pretty damn uncommonly fit for his time. He always had a set of pecs most guys envied, but he was always covered up in that white suit all through his Fantasy Island days where a lot of people remember him from.

Just read about this. R.I.P.
